romney, obama, tied at 49%. so joining me now for an exclusive interview is governor scott walker, republican from wisconsin. governor walker, as always, sir, welcome back to the "kudlow report." we appreciate it. they're tied at 49% which is something of a surprise. the republicans strnts taken the state of wisconsin in a presidential election since 1492. so how does it look, how do you see it right now? >> well, i was out in green bay, wisconsin nearby where the president was today. i've been all over the state the last couple days. momentum is clearly on our side. and you expect that out of somebody advocating for candidates, but i've really seen it. we made 4.5 million voter contacts leading up to the june 5th election. we won by a bigger mar begin than we did in 2010. and that basis of support hasn't let up, that converted over to mitt romney, it got inspired when paul ryan was added to the ticket. but most importantly, the day after mitt romney had that impressive first debate in denver, we saw the phone l

the obama administration eliminated that. they've changed the rules and that has allowed many, many people in. a big example i'd like to look at is unmarried people. for some strange reason, unmarried people have fallen much farther below unemployment than married people. they have a lot better access to these programs. >> have the work requirements been removed, casey? is that a problem? the work requirements? is it too easy to go on safety net programs? >> that would be one of a dozen things that has happened. that's one of the factors. >> may i respectfully interject here? i don't know what professor mulligan is talking about. there's still three people looking for every job opening. when you have three people looking for every job opening you want to have safety nets there for people. it's not only fogood for the people but puts money in their pockets to buy things and keeps other people employed. this is economics 101. >> now there are millions of people who can make just as much by not working. that's a bad situation. >

you know, in the debate between mitt romney and barack obama, obama laid out this notion that somehow romney was not in favor of any more revenues and romney debunked that and said, look, we're in favor of revenues, and i think he was largely speaking for the republican party at that point. we're in favor of more revenues. the ryan budget, for example, had revenue assumptions in it. so i think what's got to happen is that both sides have to let the other team take a victory lap. let republicans come into this debate where we keep tax rates low and reasonable and predictable and drive toward tax reform next year. democrats can come into the debate and claim a victory and say, well, we're interested in more revenues. the key is, can we get to these underlying situations and that is entitlement reform. that's where the action is. >> okay. but how realistic is it to postpone or extend everything for a year? as i understand it, this was in the "wall street journal" editorial page this morning and i've heard this elsewhere, that mr. boehner would like to just extend the tax cuts and i don't

obama can let the tax cuts expire. my guess is he'll start talking immediately, maybe next week about proposing, you know, sustaining the tax cuts for everybody except the top 2% and he can let the tax cuts expire and do the same thing and then republicans will try to essentially block a tax cut for '98% and 99% of the american people and the only choice is how he chooses to approach the debt limit and obama would be a fool if he lets them use it the same way. my bet is if the white house faces the clinton option and the debt limit's unconstitutional and we're lifting it, if you don't like it, see you in court. >> how long, do you think, we're in early november. how long do you think this era of compromise and common ground will last? >> i think that any deal isn't going to happen until the last hours of december. so, and it's going to be a short term deal and i would bet that they are looking for a way to kick the can down the road again rather than taking up the big issues in the short period of time. >> in that sens
